The Way We Are

every night you and I catch a wonderin’ eye
we stand out like trees in cotton rows
it ain’t a look, it ain’t a style we might throw down after a while
it’s the way we are and that’s the way it goes
Ch;
the way we are, the way we are
you might think we fell right off the same bright star, the way we are
I never had a dream so good to me so far
it don’t leave nothing much to say, the way we are
I’d lost my mind riding on the 99
when you found me singin’ sad and low
and at the end of the track you took my hand and led me back
to the happy song I’d left so long ago
Ch
it might be, I might say, we weren’t born to be this way
there’s a million ways, they say, and this I see
but It occurred to me last night when I saw you standing in the moonlight
if we die this way, that will be okay with me
the way we are, the way we are
you might think we fell right off the same bright star, the way we are
I never had a dream so good to me so far
I never thought I would meet someone who could share a fate like ours
it don’t leave nothing much to say, the way we are
